Madhya Pradesh Shocker: 11-Year-Old Boy Murdered, Body Stuffed in Blue Drum in Satna

Police say the boy was killed with a sickle and hidden in a drum as teams search for a suspect known to the family.

  • On Monday, an 11-year-old boy named Shivraj was found murdered inside a blue drum in a locked house in Siddharth Nagar, Satna, Madhya Pradesh, his throat slit.
  • Asha Rajak accused 45-year-old Mathura Rajak of the murder, alleging he harassed her to marry him; family members believe his pressure and a recent argument with the child's father triggered the fatal attack.
  • When Asha returned from work on Monday, she found the house locked and her children missing. Unable to locate Shivraj, the family alerted police, who discovered blood stains on a pillow inside.
  • Police broke open the locked door and registered a case after finding the scene. ASP Shivesh Singh Baghel of Satna district said, "The body was sent for post-mortem."
  • Authorities are conducting searches at multiple locations to locate Mathura, whose residence and workplace were found locked; the suspect remains untraceable as the investigation continues.
